The car weaved through the road, winding between gnarled trees.

The shadows of the Black Ridge were beginning to rise in the distance, swallowing the sky in bluish-gray hues. Moss Hollow was close. I could feel it on my skin, like a promise, or a warning.

Icarus drove with alert eyes, his hands steady on the wheel. There was a fierce calm about him. We were silent. I mean… relatively silent. Isabela was talking behind me as if we were heading to a mall outing, not running for our lives.

What if it’s a girl? Alana. Or Dahlia that matches gray eyes...” she sighed theatrically, as if bored at a tea party, her voice dripping like sour honey. “

    AIYANAThe room was small, with walls lined in dark wood and a ceiling so low I felt trapped. A single lamp cast an amber light, creating shadows in the cracks along the walls. I dropped my backpack at the foot of the bed and sighed, rubbing my face with hands still dirty from soil and dried blood.Isabela walked in a few seconds later, closing the door with less force than I expected. She didn’t say anything. Just leaned against the opposite wall, arms crossed over her chest like a barrier. Her eyes scanned me."You think he’s going to choose you, don’t you?" she said at last, bluntly.I turned slowly toward her, leaning against the window frame, the glass fogged on the inside and dirty on the outside.

    AIYANAThey say silence speaks, but there, on that dead road, everything screamed. The sky was a sickly gray, the clouds heavy.I didn’t know what was worse: the putrid stench of the creatures clinging to my skin, or the uneven sound of Max’s breathing beside me. I never thought I’d witness something so wrong with nature. And even less that I’d survive it.The car had turned into scrap after the attack. My legs hurt like they were filled with shards of glass, and every step was a reminder of what we had just faced. Icarus stayed agile, practically carrying Max, who refused to admit the pain, even though an entire side of his body was bleeding. I could see the rapid pulse in his neck even with the Alpha gene trying to fix everything, he was suffering

    AIYANAMy heart was pounding against my ribs. The distance between us was now almost nonexistent. The cold didn’t matter anymore. The world seemed suspended, as if the forest was holding its breath, waiting for what would come next.“I don’t…”“What? You don’t what?”Icarus took another step toward me. I blinked, and instinctively took a step back.Another step from him. Another retreat from me.There was something in his eyes… something more than desire. It was shadow, wildness. A dark and hungry gleam.“I don’t know.”

    AIYANAThe cold bit like an invisible beast, gnawing at my cheeks, burning the tip of my nose. My fingers were so numb I could barely feel the straps of my backpack, but I kept walking. One step after another. One breath, then another. And again.Up ahead, Maxim and Icarus walked side by side. Snow clung to Icarus’s hair, but he didn’t seem to notice. Neither of them, really, seemed bothered by the cold. Alphas had tougher bodies than the rest of us—like winning lottery tickets.
